MSN-Manco KB36/43

The MSN-Manco Khecbyuff 36/43 is the only widely used light machine gun with water cooling, designed and produced by Imperial Arms Manufacturing and Costanza Manco. It is a lightened version of the MSN-Manco KB36 with a shoulder stock and bipod, designed for Khahlanong Imperial Army assault troops. Its slim water jacket holds 5 pints.   It is a heavy LMG; barely serviceable by one person. Manco gunners are picked for strength and endurance and still have to take turns carrying the piece if they are to keep up with the riflemen. The KB36/43 feeds from a 3.2-lb. 50-round belt coiled inside a drum (5.1 lbs. total) attached to the gun but could also use the 250-round belt (16 lbs., or 19.5 lbs. in can).   An air-cooled version of the KB36/43 was Khahlanong's standard autogyro MG during the Last War.
